The "BOrn.Tired" Man.

The fellow who was born very tired
grew more and more weary as he went
through the haps and mishaps of child
hood, the adolescence of youth and the
early period of manhood. At middle
age he was the tiredest man then living.
At fifty he was so utterly worn out with
the simple process of existing that it oc-
CURED to him to calculate how many
bresths he must draw if he went on
living for twenty years more, and, being
a man in tair preservation, there was Q
good prospect of his reaching the allot;c
threescoro and ten years of average man
kind.
Well, this tired citizen figured it out
on the basis of eighteen brcaths min

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

An ounce of mans own wit is worth
a ton Of other peoples.
If you desire to be held wise, be a.
wise as to hold your tongue.
The crutch of time accomplishes moro
than the club of Hercules.
An idle reason lessons the weight OF
the good ones you gave before.
Advice is like castor oil; easy enough
to give but hard enough to take.
Choose brave employment with q
naked sword throughout the world.
That virtue which requires ever to be
guarded is scarcely worth the sentinel.
Who never walks save where he sees
mems tracks, makes no now discoveries.
Men resemble tho gods in nothing so
much as in doing good to their fellow
creatures.
The path of genius is not less OBJ.
structcd with disappointment than that
of ambition.
As sad dreams bctoken a glad future,
so may it be with the so often torment
ing dream of life when it is over.
OF all the riches that we hug, of all
the pleasures we enjoy, we carry nc
more out of this world than out of q
dream.
A great many petty trials of life would
cease to trouble us if we only thought
how little they will matter thousand
years hence.
Vicious habits are so odious and de-
grading that they transform the indi
vidual who practices them into an in
carnatc demon.
This tide of mans life after it once
turneth and dcclineth ever runneth with
perpetual cbb and falling stream, but
never howeth again.
Whatever the skill of any country be
in sciences, it is from excellence il
polite learning alone that it must ex-
pcct character from posterity.

mont in tho campaign of 1856 recalled to
my mind story told me by nm old
Washingtonian about tho origin of the
strange scbriquct. 1t seems that after
Fremont had first announced to the
world his discoveries in the great west a
Philadelphia Snowman of tricky and
speculative turn undertook to exploit
Lieutenant Fremont's discoveries and at
the same timo make a little money for
himself. So he came down to Washing
ton, Congress being thcr in session, and
hiring shop on the avenue, proceeded
70 advertise and exhibit Lieutenant
Frcmont's woody horse, captured by the
gallant explorer in the very heart of the
Rocky mountains, at the risk of his life"
OF course, it was only an ordinary,
everyday horse, with patches of wool
stuck on. But it took, and the show
man began to make money on it. Oae
fine day Senator Benton, Fremont's
fathcr-in-law, heard Of the humbug, and
started outvowing to drive it from 10 wn
before evening. Taking brot er sena-
tor with him he marched at once on the
enemy's shop. The Snowman who was
standing outside the door, and who
knew him perfectly we'll, had the impu-
dence to go right On with his lecture.
He even went so far as to say to the
crowd, "IIere is Lieutenant Frcmont's
father r-in-law--Scnator Benton. Won't
you walk in, Senator, and take your
friend with you. 1t won't cost you d
cent" ''Come inside" said Benton,
sternly, handing him 81 AM strding in
with his friend; ''wherc is this animal2'
"Here he is" said the Snowman, begin.

again. "Stopr said Benton in the tone
that had often made the senate chamber
ring; 'Tf you don't take that fraud Out
of this town before dark rll make you
wish you had never been born" Tho
impudencc of the man was frightened
out of him by Benton's severity and
earnestness. "l'll 60" he said, ant

The Dear Old Songs Of Home,

Turn backward in your fight
Ring out the chime in fairy rhyme
Of boyhood's music bright
Like bells OF joy outringing,
Those memories old are clinging,
Now faint now near again hear
In accents clear where'er roam,
My mother sweetly singing,
Singing, swsetly singing,
The dear old songs of home.
Mako me boy, with boyhood's joy,
As in the days Of old,
When ruddy blaze before our gaze
Went up in sparks Of gold.

The shadows round it clinging,
Till once again in sweet refrain,
On land or main, where'er I roam,
l hear my mother singing,
Singing, sweetly singing,
The dear old songs of home.
At set Of sun, when day was DONE
Like silver Ginning bells,
Rose on the air, with evening prayer,
The song we loved so well.
Still in my ear they're ringing,
And memories old are bringing,
Like gentle shower, of boyhoods hour,
With subtle power, where'er l roam,
OF mother sweetly singing,
Singing. sweetly singing,
The dear old songs of home.
No time can blot this fragrant spot,
This chime of silver bells,
But oft my heart with sudden start
The secret surely tells.
Then mid the glad bells ringing,
With holy thoughts upspringing,
Now faint, then clear, again hear
In accents dear, where'er roam,
My mother sweetly singing,
Singing. sweetly singing,

Potter Palmer's New House.

Curiosity regarding the appoint
ments and interior decorations of
Potter Palmer's elegant mansion on
the South Side is now finding vent in
a personal call where intimacy with
the family will serve as an excuse,
and by endless report and GOSSIP
where the curious unfortunate cannot
visit the house and see for himself.
During Mr.. Palmer's travels he saw
a small castle whose architecture
greatly pleased him. Without the
knowledge OF his wife, he had the
building drafted by a competent
architect, and upon his return to
Chicago set the builder to work. For
several years the walls have been
familiar sight, as the house is stu
ated in a commanding position on the
lake shore, at the south end of Lin
coin Park, and in front is the lake
shore perhaps the most popu-
lar drive in the city The very loea
ton of this residence has done much
to enhance the value of property in
the vicinity. It faces the lake, whose
rather unacceptable sandy shores rise
with a gentle ascent from the water.
The style is that of a medieval castle
with tall tower, and the material
used in It's construction is a dark
stone, with lighter stone trimmings.
1t is said that the style was not to
Mrs. Palmer's taste, but when she re-
turned, the building was so far adj
vanced that it was not thought advis-
able to depart from the original plans.
The interior decoration is the work of
Jacassy, an Italian artist, who came
to the city and met Mr.. Palmer just
as the work should properly begin
upon the walls and hangings. The
artist had received the best education
that Continental schools afforded. III
health had compelled him to seek a
warmer climate, and he left Italy for
Hindostan, and resided for several
years amid the groves and temples of
the Hindoos. The ideas and motives
of Hindoo architecture Signor JAG
assy has employed in the decoration
of Mr.. Palmer's residence. One
room is finished to the minutest de
tails in the Hindoo, and an adjoining
apartment in the Indian style of
decoration. A third room is filed
with quaint Flemish carvings, in
many cases Of great age and value.
The house is one of the finest in the
Northwest, and will be an ornament
to the city Chicago Letter.

Avn Ereeution in Franco.

NJ. Diebler, the common execuhoner,
despatched two notorious malefactors
by the guillotine at Romorantin.
These were the man Thomas and his
wife, who had helped him to burn her
mother in an atrocious manner. The
woman, it, appears, fed the fire with
straw from her bed, while the husband
stamped with his sabots on the vic
tim in order to keep her down amid
the cracking flames. The brother of
the woman, Thomas, who had also
hand in the murder, was condemned
to penal serYitude. The criminals
were covered with black wells to de-
note that they had been guilty of par
ricide. They were attended by two
priests, and the woman, who seemed
to be in a half dazed condition, was
guillotined first. She was the first
female executed in France since 1872.

Buffers Purchase Of a Hand-organ.

Buffers Purchase of Hand-Organ.
u heard yesterday the first true
version of the monkey and hand
organ story, which has been privately
lid in army circles here now aad
y. but not always correctly. A
easury official said "Well, Gen
al Butler, 1 have no doubt these
accounts are all right, and if you will
explain satisfactorily one other item,
[ will pass them. Here is charge
of $50 for a hand-organ and a
monkey. Now, what possible use a
hand organ and monkey would be
to She United States Government, or
to you, as its General, l cannot see"
General Butler then told the fol
lowing 1t was the hottest time of
my campaign about Baltimore. The
rebels were very close-mouthed, and
l could get no inside news of the
doings of the rebels One day | saw
a great crowd gathering round a man
With a hand-organ, who had a very
large monkey. As drew nearer l
noticed that the man playing the
organ looked very much like smart
Ii9shman whom L had among my
soldiers. 1 said nothing, but went
back to my headquarters, and calling
up the Irishman, in whom 1 had per-
feet confidence, gave him some
money and told him to go and buy
out the musician. He did so. He
bought the hand-organ, the monkey,
and the musicians clothes, and paid
500 for them. Dressed in these l
sent him out as a spy. He travelled
all the surrounding country, and
gave me some very valuable informa
ton. This information was worth
thousands of dollars to the United
States Government, and concluded
General Butler, you can see why it
( paid the United States to pay $50 for
hRnd-organ and a monkey"
" is needless to say that the ex-
PLANTATION was satisfactory.
